Felt like home; great host.
I did not have a chance to meet our host, Carla, but she must have wings. We asked if we could check in early so we could go back to Saturday at Butchart Gardens. She made that happen. Then we changed our mind as it was too long of a trip. I asked if we could check in late because I did not want to disturb her, and she said "no problem".
My friend and I stayed at several places on our trip and they were all the same: shiny new appliances, and furniture but little else. Walking into Carla's place felt like home. Not as "modern" as some places, but very comfortable with a big deck that has a view of the morning sunrise, Many places to sit and read, a desk with a view, and a comfortable welcome with towels on each bed.
We like to cook some nights and most places have salt and pepper and perhaps an almost empty bottle of oil. Carla's herb and seasonings made me want to cook a big meal and invite the neighbors.
We visited during Labour Day weekend and most people went to the west side, we decided to go to the east side and loved it. More of a community feel and would have liked to spend more time at places like Transfer Beach Park near Ladysmith.
